CB Capital Partners, Inc. announces the recent acquisition of the investment research firm MarketThoughts LLC. The acquisition allows CB Capital to leverage MarketThoughts’ research expertise as it relates to identifying and analyzing global macroeconomic and industry-related trends.

Mr. Henry To, CFA, CAIA, FRM is the former managing partner of MarketThoughts. With the recent acquisition, he has joined CB Capital as Managing Director of Research. Mr. To (henry.to@cbcapital.com) is a leading global macroeconomist and adjunct professor at the University of California at Los Angeles. He specializes in investment-related research in the areas of global finance, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, telecom, specialty retail, and social media.

Mr. To’s research methodology incorporates original thinking with global macroeconomic, geopolitical, technological, and demographic themes to come up with unique investment ideas. It promotes and preserves capital and risk management through the monitoring of important liquidity, sentiment, and valuation indicators. Mr. To actively pursues feedback from clients, incorporating the resulting ideas.

Mr. Christopher J. Baclawski, Managing Partner of CB Capital, heartily welcomes Mr. To’s addition to the CB Capital team. “At CB Capital, we have known Henry and have admired his cutting-edge research for several years. Henry has deep experience in the study of China and other key Asian economies - as well as his research expertise in several important industry niches. We believe deeply in the value he has already begun adding to our research prowess.”

For well over a decade, CB Capital has offered its clients investment-related insights through their proprietary global macroeconomic research services. CB Capital believes that the 2007 global financial crisis shifted the world’s economy in significant ways. For example, the global economy has moved away from being dominated by U.S.-based institutions and investors to one that is multi-polar and multi-dimensional. In particular, the global mega bank model that competed on the basis of financial capital alone has become obsolete. This view of the global economy informs CB Capital’s research work for its clients on a daily basis.

Mr. Baclawski and Mr. To share the belief that today, successful investment banks must adopt a model built on personalized client relationships, supported by research from subject matter experts who possess deep knowledge of clients' particular areas of focus. CB Capital will continue to tailor its offerings to meet its client’s investment research needs.
